Avatar n tn Pregnancy Category C is given to medicines that have not been studied in pregnant humans, but do appear to cause harm to the fetus in animal studies. Also, medicines that have not been studied in any pregnant women or animals are automatically given a Pregnancy Category C rating. Adderall was given a pregnancy Category C rating because it was shown to cause birth defects and miscarriages in mice.
Avatar m tn The first time I tried to masturbate on Adderall, I noticed a small trace of red in the semen. Completely freaked me out. Did research and from what I found out besides prostate issues it may be an STD. I have no symptoms, rash, anything unusual, no pain. This only happened once since it was a Friday and I do not do Adderall over the weekend.

Avatar m tn Hey Franky! So I've been taking Adderall for about a year now and have been noticing an increase in health concern symptoms that I haven't had before or that are increasing in frequency. Thanks to Google, I've been doing allot of research and I started seeing a common denominator with my recent symptoms since starting the medication: bacterial infections!
Avatar n tn And yes, you could drink way to much because of it. The adderall should be out of your system in about 5 hours unless it was the extended variety - in which case it could take 8 hours.
Avatar n tn I just found out that at a birthday party last night someone slipped 50 mg of Adderall in my drink. I have been awake for over 36 hrs now and my heart rate is faster than normal. I am getting worried. Is there anything I can do to counter the effects of this?
1744544 tn?1311299862 So, for over 2 years, I have consistently taken 60mg of Adderall. Once I was finally stable on my Adderall, he then took me off of my Xanax (did not WEEN me off, but TOOK me off) stating that 'Florida Law-He can not prescribe 2 Narcotics'.. I went for my regular, I voiced that after a year and a half of being off of Xanax, I'm now experiencing Anxiety more and more severe.. I understood that he couldnt prescribe another Narcotic, but I felt anything to subside my Anxiety would help.

Avatar f tn So many young women are addicted to adderall and it's a vicious drug, It's SO easy to get. I don't understand why the pharmacy computers aren't linked up so the precriptions are tracked!
Avatar m tn After about 6 months of use my appetite came back and the anxiety has decreased however, now I notice an increase in bacterial infections throughout my body including BV, Folliculitus (not diagnosed as of yet), upper respiratory infections, and the flu. Are there any other women in this forum that are having similar issues with bacterial infections while taking this medication and can anyone tell me why this is?
Avatar n tn I know more about adderall than I do Ritalin because I used to take addies. It's a stimulant jist like Ritalin but adderall is basically like speed in pill form. It helped keep me awake through school and helped me focus.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 20 years old (turn 21 this year), my last menstrual cycle started somewhere between December 15th-20th. I know I was off my period before Christmas eve. I have never missed a period. I haven't taken a pregnancy test because I'm scared of the results. I was spotting on January 15th-17th and I thought my period was about to start, but it didn't.
Avatar f tn The reason i think i have addisons is because i had a problem with my acth and my symptoms. super dark brown hyper pigmentation, Chronic fatigue syndrome, weakness, anxiety, i feel better at night, personality change, losing weight... i weigh 95lbs now, but the lowest was 79lbs and im 22 years old....and many more symptoms. The tanning part is why i think its addisons. i've never tanned in my life and im extremely dark and i haven't seen the sun in like two years.
Avatar n tn According to the regulatory agency, they received safety information concerning the association of sudden deaths, heart-related deaths, and strokes in children and adults taking recommended doses of Adderall and Adderall XR. This risk of Adderall death seemed particularly high for individuals with structural heart abnormalities. In response to these findings, the FDA issued an advisory warning about the possible risk of death, but allowed the drug to remain on the market.
731081 tn?1256283166 If you like the adrenaline rush and energy of adderall maybe you can find it in a healthy outlet, some sort of activity or sport. I do not look back fondly on using adderall, it is like a roller coaster as you said, and basically a laboratory version of speed. I think if you can work on stopping you will start to feel much better and the anxiety will subside a lot.
Avatar f tn The w/d from adderall is not too bad-in terms of the physical aspects-but mentally-its really hard-you could talk to your primary care doctor about getting on an anti-depressant for a while- Therapy/support groups can be very helpful too- Keep posting to get some support here too- peace- alice
Avatar f tn I can relate. I'm 28 and I've had more jobs than my age and have been put on medications for depression and even biopolar disorder, when being A.D.D. was the real problem. I only figured out that I was A.D.D. because my friend gave me an adderall because I was super exhausted and she said it would wake me up (I don't usually take other peoples medication). The adderall had the complete opposite affect and I was amazed how calm I felt.
Avatar f tn And sometimes starting new medication can cause a short term increase in anxiety. I had severe tingling in my arms from anxiety and had to get a CT scan to rule out a stroke. Amazingly, as soon as I found out my brain was okay, my tingling went away within a day or so. Continuing to worry about it can cause the symptoms to continue and even become worse. I recommend speaking to your doctor and trying to calm down and see if your symptoms go away.
Avatar f tn On the drug test aspect, Vyvanse is out of your system exponentially faster than Adderall. The half life of V is 47 minutes compared to a half life of 9-14 hours for Adderall. Example for those unaware how half-lifes of drugs work. 2 subjects; 1 takes 30mg of V, other takes 30mg of Adderall at 12pm. In 47 minutes @ 12:47pm, there will be 15mg (or half original dose) of the parent drug in V user's system.
Avatar f tn t even like taking a Tylenol once in a blue moon for a light headache or anything, he was really worried that any amount of Adderall was a bad idea with all my sleep problems and this is just from the general info most of us know about the drugs like Adderall or any medication that had amphetamine somewhere in it, and yet he is dumbfounded at my lack of any reaction to the Adderall and deep down was hoping that possibly the Adderall could help me start functioning as a "normal" housewi
Avatar m tn Ya, thats the point. Adderall will show up in tests - and its a pretty easy drug test. I wonder if your pain doctor does realize you have a prescription for it? Perhaps he feels that you are abusing stimulant medications? Anyway, it all leads back to you finding out from him what is going on.
Avatar m tn It all started about Wed (02/08/17) morning when I woke up, as soon as I sat up I had a strong urge to gag and did but didn't vomit. It was an unpleasant feeling of course that lasted through the evening with me having no appetite. What I find odd is that it pretty much completely disappears by around 8PM every time! Now about a week later I'm still experiencing this which is why I came here seeking help.
Avatar m tn I've passed a test in 14 days, failed in 14 days, but never failed after a month. I don't know anyone who has failed after a month, I'm sure a week liver and thyroid could make it take longer, but healthy people should be fine. Are you an addict, or were you a recreational user. Adderrall is pretty strong stuff, do you use it as prescribed?
Avatar f tn My son who is 5 and has been taking Adderall 5mg since 5-07 for ADHD and meds was recently increased to 10mg in morning and 2.5mg at noon has had nightly episodes of waking up screaming and "scared" look on face with shaking of arms& legs and sweating, I took him to doctor who ordered EEG but said it is most likely night terrors.
Avatar n tn it should be noted I have mitral valve prolapse and am on Effexor 75 mg for depression and take Ativan PRN for axiety. Anyway, problem is that everyday since I started taking the Adderall when it kicks in I experience chest tightness and it seems to extend to my back and down my arms. It's weird, it's almost the same symptoms I use to experience when I was extremely stressed and would get anxiety symtoms in my chest. Just wondered what your thoughts are about this.
Avatar m tn 00 am in the morning they day you decide to get a good night of sleep. It also has to be natural sleep, no sleeping pills. I don't know why but 9 hours of sleep with sleeping pills does not do any good. So I try to schedule my good night sleep days around known performance events. On performance day I take a little more then the prescribed dose. This has worked very well for me so far. Also avoid alcohol on good sleep nights.
